The word 'epistle' means 'letter'. And in the Bible, the epistles always refer to the group of letters grouped together in the middle of the New Testament. Written by leaders of the early church, these letters contain valuable insight and principles for living as a believer and follower of Jesus Christ.

In this guide, we learn about the General Epistles, which means these letters were written by a diverse collection of leaders in the early church. That's a total of eight letters (not seven) and include:

Hebrews

James

1 and 2 Peter

1, 2, and 3 John

Jude

As we do in all of our guides, we explain the scriptures in layman terms so that we all can understand. We also offer humor and cartoon illustrations to make it enjoyable to read.

This guide is perfect for Bible study groups and individual studies.
